clean ups, sanitizing, heals faster with no hair balls in the scabs from road rash is really the only reason, oddly enough it's been more of a benefit for me in mtb off road situations for I have crashed a hell of alot more in the nasty rock & root drop off stuff than anywhere else. Plus i'm actually use to it, feel odd in the off season with hair
